ALTHOUGH nominally this is a second edition of Mr. Scales's “Elementary Microscopy,” published in 1905, yet it is in effect a new book. The first edition was not so pretentious, and did not attempt to ...

Microscopy continues to transform the life sciences. Here are five recent breakthroughs made possible by the technique.

WASHINGTON -- Neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's are often accompanied by amyloid proteins in the brain that have become clumped or misfolded. A newly developed technique ...

Biologists are very interested in how proteins, lipids and other compounds are organized and interact in systems. Very few organizational details can be gained by using standard transmission-based ...

Researchers at Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT-Italian Institute of Technology) have developed an innovative microscopy ...

Rapid 3D image acquisition technique, without moving observation plane, developed by Tohoku and Osaka universities. Conceptual illustration of the “One-scan” microscopy method. A newly-proposed 3D ...

As the super-resolution microscopy industry evolves, experimental needs and demands change alongside it. More and more, demand for super-resolution microscopy on live samples has grown and caught the ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract A simple method to achieve results similar to the freeze-etching technique of Moor et al. (1961) is described. The frozen tissue is cut under ...

"With the method we developed, we can make things visible that no one has seen before," says Prof. Sebastian Loth, Managing Director of the Institute for Functional Matter and Quantum Technologies ...

Researchers have incorporated a swept illumination source into an open-top light-sheet microscope to enable improved optical sectioning over a larger area of view. The advance makes the technique more ...

IN this third edition the author (whom death has recently claimed) has revised the text and introduced much new matter, particularly in the chapters dealing with the design of the microscope, choice ...
